Again, no link yet. I seem to jump the gun a lot. So, is the lady in bed averting her eyes from a botched surgery or is she looking in the way that his member appears to be pointing? ---

I say her gaze swoops to one side, reflecting the swoop in his member. ---

I’m with Jill. You notice how pretty much everything, save the fellow himself, is pretty curved? His paramour is looking for the end of it. ---

Slug, if your out there, you are my hero! I can’t wait to see what you come up with every week. Is there anywhere else I can see your work or do you draw only for Cecil? Any books, comics, out there I can get my hands on? (other than Cecils stupid books) You Rule! Cecils column without your artistic touch would be almost unreadable! I hope he’s paying you well. If he is’nt, let us Teeming Millions know and we will put on the pressure. Keep up the good work. ---

Please tell me that Cecil **doesn’t** have “first hand information” on this one. For Ghod’s sake, say something!! ---

Cecil Adams knows all and sees all. I will leave the details up to your imagination (of which I see you are well-furnished.) ---

People, people, don’t you get it? The bed is curved, as if sagging in the middle. The man has had the enlargement surgery, and the weight of his unseen but now-Brobdingnagian member is pressing down on the middle of the bed. ---

I think Five is on the right track. We all know Slug to be mindful of the broad range of sensibilities of readers of these boards and he doesn’t want to offend anyone by drawing in the actual object of attention. He also doesn’t want filtering technology to block important information from the SD. I think both people are gazing at the tip which has not been drawn in. ---

But, if Five is right and his member is resting on the bed, what woman on earth could avert her eyes? Conversely, what filtering technology could censor a drawing? ---

I was wondering if she was shaking her head “no”, as in “no way you’re putting that in me!”
